the LED is usually what indicates that the alarm is active?
Usually there is a grace period from when u arm the car and before the alarm is actually active.
For example, if you press the button on ur remote then try opening the door, the alarm wont go off because it hasnt gone out of the grace period. They usually do this if uve left something in the car to save arming it again ect.
If you press the button to arm the car, wait 2 minutes, then try opening the car, the alarm should go off
*EDIT* just realised what u meant about the button on the key, u mean its for the little lock finder light on there yeh?
Ur missing the fob i would have thought

if u want to check your alarm is arming leave your passenger door open and lock your car at the drivers side. after a few seconds (maybe a minute) your alarm should go off

The way i checked mine was to pop the bonnet but not fully open it, arm the alarm and then open the bonnet..... if the alarm is working properly the horn shuld start beeping.
Are you talking about the standard vauxhall alarm?

 sounds like your alarm isnt workin. try setting the alarm (turnin key 90 degrees) then get a pound coin and hit the drivers window

Check this mate. I had the same problem
You can check your dead-locks are working(they have to for the alarm to work) by locking the drivers door as you described and then try unlocking the passenger door. If you can unlock the car from the passenger side then you have a dead-lock problem on your drivers door lock.
